Amnesty International is a group of ordinary people from around the world standing up for humanity and human rights. Our purpose is to protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied. Glasgow West is one of many local volunteer groups supporting the work of Amnesty International UK's campaigns.
We meet once a month, on the second Thursday of the month, at 7.30 p.m. at Woodlands Methodist Church, Woodlands Road, opposite The Dram Pub, in the West End of Glasgow. During our meetings we write letters and carry out other actions in support of Amnesty International's campaigns, and we sometimes have guest speakers. We also hold fundraising and awareness-raising events throughout the year, including an annual pub quiz and a comedy night.
We would love new members! Please feel free to just turn up at one of our meetings, or contact us on mail@glasgowwestamnesty.org.uk if you have any questions beforehand.
Please consider donating to our group. Your donations (however small) help cover out costs such as postage stamps for our campaign letters. You can donate via PayPal.

We generally email once per month before our monthly meetings with a note of what the meeting will be about, info from AIUK, events and a recap of previous minutes.
We very occasionally email about events like our annual comedy fundraiser on behalf of AIUK, which The Stand in Woodlands have graciously hosted for us.
